EIGHTEENTH CENTURY GARDEN 
FURNITURE 


FROM NOTABLE ENGLISH GARDENS 


Enchanting and poetic visions rise to view at the magic mention 
of old English Gardens, for those of the late seventeenth and eigh- 
teenth centuries have an air of quietude and restfulness only broken 
occasionally by the humming of the bees around the flowers and the 
flutter of the wings of birds at fountains or fishponds whilst taking 
a hurried and perhaps chattering bath, having flown from their nests 
in neighboring: sheltering trees. 

This delightful gathering, now on exhibition and to be sold at 
the American Art Galleries at unrestricted Public Sale, was acquired 
from the lovely gardens of Syon Lodge, Isleworth, Middlesex; the 
Earl of Scarsdale, Sutton Scarsdale, Derby; Lady Ebury, Moor Park; 
and York House, Twickenham, Middlesex, amongst others. 

Perhaps nothing enhances the brilliancy and delicacy of flowers 
more than Lead Statuettes and Fountains, and here we have many 
both large and small, Dolphins, Cupidons, Wood Sprites and even 
Pelicans. 

Old Sun-Dials, mostly of the fine armillary type, mounted on 
limestone pedestals, revive charming memories of the past and add 
distinction to even the smallest garden. 

Numerous inviting Garden Benches, Chairs, and Tables are also 
in the assemblage, both in painted iron and sculptured limestone, many 
of them adorned with interesting lead panels and other ornamentation. 

The Wicket Garden and Large Gates, Bells and Grilles of forged 
iron are exceptionally fine, with their beautiful scrollings and tracery. 

The whole exhibition makes a strong appeal to the imagination 
and upon viewing it one’s greatest desire is for an opportunity to 
place at least a share of these very engaging garden objects.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

Ill. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices as may be required. 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. , 

VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted

immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following

and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser. 
and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the

responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and
